Free Insurance Quotes – Who Requires Them The Most

May 17, 2012 · 0 comments

When you talk to people about paying higher premiums to get more comprehensive coverage, most of them would say that they could not afford it. they are of the opinion that only the wealthy can afford to pay for more coverage while they need to be satisfied with the bare minimum level of protection. But they fail to realize that it is they that require better coverage than the wealthy.

Let us consider a scenario where a person has paid for auto insurance and their vehicle is damaged in an accident. if the person is an extremely wealthy individual, he or she can still manage the loss even if for some reason, their insurance policy did not provide them adequate coverage. they could even dump their damaged vehicle and purchase a new one because they are wealthy enough to do so, as and when they please. however, if the person was not so well-to-do, they would require every penny that their insurance company could provide in order to handle the crisis. they would not have sufficient money to repair their vehicle if the insurance company did not offer them sufficient coverage.

So it is abundantly clear from this example that it is the person who is not financially very sound that requires an insurance policy more desperately than a wealthy person. People who are struggling with financial difficulties will need to have considerable financial support in the event of an emergency. Therefore, they need to choose the right kind of policies to ensure that they have sufficient coverage during any eventuality.

Finding the right policy is not a very difficult task. one can start by getting free insurance quotes from different insurance companies. There are websites that provide a comprehensive list of free insurance quotes from different reputed companies in any geographical location. one just needs to provide their zip code and choose the type of coverage they require and immediately the sites will come up with affordable insurance quotes from companies in that particular zip code.

People who are struggling financially might think that they cannot really afford insurance. But in reality, they cannot afford not to have insurance because they could be financially wiped out without proper support from a financial institution. With so many affordable insurance option available these days, people simply do not have a reason to neglect this all-import investment in their lives. they really need to choose an affordable insurance policy and have adequate coverage to protect them from any eventuality.

May 13, 2012 · 0 comments

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Washburn took early leads in two games Friday in the MIAA tournament but fell in a pair of offensive battles to end the year with a pair of losses. The Ichabods dropped their second round game 12-8 to second-seeded Missouri Western and then fell in an elimination game 11-7 to Fort Hays State.

The Ichabods ended the season at 27-23 with their first winning record since 2006. The Tigers (28-23) will play Saturday against the loser of the Central Missouri-Missouri Western semifinal.

The Ichabods took a 2-0 lead in the first innings against FHSU and led 4-0 after two innings. Marcus Peavler had an RBI single and Blaine Matthews had a sacrifice fly to get Washburn runs in the first inning. The Ichabods scored two runs on a three-error play in the second inning. Richard Swan walked and then Connor Crimmins set down a sacrifice bunt. The FHSU pitcher misplayed it for the first error and then threw it to first anyway and it went wild into right field. Swan came around to score and the throw home got away for the third error, allowing Crimmins to score.

The Tigers got on the board with two in the second and kept scoring, taking a 7-5 lead after four innings. Brad Alberts had a solo homer in the third and an RBI triple in the sixth. he ended the year batting .377, second behind John Calhoun, who hit .398 with a .651 slugging percentage. Calhoun’s 18 doubles tied for the fifth highest single-season total and his 74 hits was the ninth highest.

Washburn reliever Trent Speaker took the loss (2-5) after giving up three runs, one earned, in 3 1/3 innings.

The Ichabods jumped to a 3-0 lead after half an inning in the afternoon game against Missouri Western but the Griffons (34-15) answered with three in the bottom and kept adding them to hold on for the win and advance to play Central Missouri Saturday in the semifinal.

Calhoun led off the game with a single and then scored on two MWSU errors. Tyler Bean later drove a ball into right center field with Boone Plager on base. The Griffon center and right fielders collided en route to the ball and it rolled to the wall for an inside the park homer. The Griffons outfielders were carted off the field in stretchers after a 19-minute delay.

Missouri Western responded with three in the bottom of the inning. Michael Schulze led off with a homer to right field and then Spencer Shockley doubled in a run. one more MWSU run later scored on a Washburn error. The Griffons added five more in the third inning with the first three being charged to Washburn starter Kerry Schachenmeyer, giving him his third loss of the year (7-3). The Griffons got six more runs off Washburn relievers to stay in control.

The Ichabods looked to come back in the sixth as they scored four runs to cut the lead to 10-8. RBI singles from Alberts, Matthews and then Swan drove in three of the runs and then Hageman later scored on a single from Calhoun and MWSU throwing error. Washburn added one more in the seventh with Bean’s second homer of the game, a shot to right field that tied him with Calhoun for the team lead with nine on the year.

The Griffons added two more in the seventh as insurance. Starter Brandon Simmons (12-2) earned the win as he pitched 7 1/3 innings and allowed eight runs, five earned.he struck out nine with one walk.
